The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side by Agatha Christie
4.0
3.75 stars
This was my first Miss Marple book and I have to say I think I prefer Hercule Poirot. Maybe it was just this one, but I felt like Miss Marple was treated as an invalid and not much a part of the mystery solving. I read the new Marple short-story collection last year and really enjoyed that so I was hoping for a bit more.
Aside from that, this story was entertaining and I kept changing my mind on who the killer was and what the motive would be. I find that to be a great sign of a mystery.
I also listened to the audiobook narrated by Emilia Fox. She did a fabulous job with all sorts of voices and accents.
